Lately GLO has improved their internet service by allowing its users to use their BlackBerry internet subscription(BIS) on PC computer and this has been what i have been using for a couple of days without stress and the speed as the good here in my present location.
The Good news is that, same Glo bis can be used on smartphones like ipad and other devices, whether or not the plan can be used on an android device is something i really can’t ascertain because i haven’t tried it out before using an Android Smart Phone but you can try it out yourself and give me a feed back.
How To Configure And Use Glo BIS ON PC
The process are very simple and short and i will be helping you with screenshot for easy understanding.
Steps:
Either Subscribe to globacom blackberry weekly plan for N400 or monthly plan for N1400 and insert your modem containing the subscribe sim to your PC computer.
Create a new profile settings and configure with the following parameters:
Profile Name: GLO
APN or Access Point: blackberry.net
Access Number or Dial UP Number: *99#
Username and Password: Leave them blank and save.
Take a low at my screenshot settings below for better understanding
Click on Connect and launch your browser.
Blaze on.
Summary: This is a very good option to the Airtel BIS been used on PC and a good option for people speeding high amounts on internet subscriptions as you are given 700MB for the weekly plan and 3GB for the monthly plan which i’d say is very cheap compared to the price.
If you are the type that consume more than 3GB in a month, then i’d recommend getting my unlimited browsing package and surf unlimited for a month.
Have you got any questions relating to using the glo blackberry internet subscription(BIS) on Computer or Smartphone, please use the comment form.
UPDATE:
Glo Blackberry Bis been used on PC, Android and other devices have been blocked, it only works on bb devices, you can option in to using MTN BIS on PC and Android. I will also post an update here when something new is up.
About Adeniyi Samuel
Hi Samuel, That was a great tutor. The Glo BIS is what’s trending right now and the tutor you gave was self explanatory. Kudos bro…
Thanks buddy, am glad the tutorial was helpful and i have been getting appreciations via bbm also.
U are a blessing to ur world keep up the good work
Thanks Buddy.
How can u use Bluetooth from the blackberry (containing the glo bis subscribed sim) to the computer.
i don’t think connecting to the internet via the use of Bluetooth is possible unless you are going to connect via a usb cable and then PC suite.
Thanks Mate…On the glo website they wrote that both the Weekly and Monthly blackberry complete plans are UNLIMITED. Why the contradictions? Thanks once more
Wow! Guess that’s the new update on their site because it used to be limited, i have also visited their official blackberry page and realized that it is now unlimited for a month or a week althrough i haven’t confirmed this because i have been using mtn bis on PC which is unlimited. Thanks bro. for the info, will post an update after confirmation.
pls hw do set the mtn bis plan to be working on system?
You will be needing the service of a vpn software, i can get that for you or read http://www.trueinternetworld.net/2012/11/using-mtn-glo-airtel-etisalat-blackberry-bis-on-pc-for-unlimited-browsing.html
Pls is the glo blackberry configuration setting work, I have been trying to get it work on my PC but no luck, Kindly help out pls
Yes bro. it still works, althrough i noticed some network frustration lately, just keep disconnecting and connecting till it starts browsing.
The confirguration is directing me to Glo website and saying, u are not subcribe to any data plan, I don’t know what to do again sir, I keep cracking my brain but no luck
If i understand you clearly, you are still using gloflat as the APN in your configuration settings, if you follow the instructions squarely, i said use ‘blackberry.net’ as the APN, follow the screenshot settings in the post above and if you have an active bb subscription, you should be good to go.
Hi. Pls can you give me instructions on how to connect my glo BIS to pc using USB cable? I’d be very grateful bro. Tnx
I’d recommend you use a modem but if you still want to use a mobile phone alongside a usb cable, then you should have the phone’s pc suite, its usb cable and the phone should be 3G enabled but better browsing.
Bro I’v all those. The desktop manager and it’s a bb torch. Pls can you give me the steps to follow, like what and what to set on my phone and pc(control panel, network connections,etc) if applicable. Thank you
Am sorry Republic but i have never tried using my bb on pc as a modem hence i don’t want to tell you things i haven’t tried out myself, hope you understand?
Please i try connectin with pc suite but it always directs my browser to glo self help site.abeg help me
Please connect using a modem, that’s what I’d recommend.
I found a way out with modem.
Enter pc suite,click connect pc to internet using phone,then click settings(that spanner below) then click “select modem”.u ll see a long list then click ur phone.then click configure manually.apn put blackberry.net n leave the rest blank.u’re so good to go!
Nice One Moey, *take 5*
Osheeeee
Found a way out..chose manual settings 4rm the pc suite.changed apn 2 blackberry.net
i wonder if the social plan which is cheaper (#1200) works as well. btw am using the #1400 successfully thanks
i really can not say whether or not the social plan will work because i have always been using the complete plan and i would advise you continue with that.
can this glo browsing be shared (sent as gift like the normal glo)?
No Uche, its a blackberry plan and not the normal glo internet plan for pc or mobile.
Pls can I use dis plan with my iphone? If. Yes what is the config my chairman. Fanks for the update
Yes Saad, this should be able to work with an iphone althrough i don’t use an iphone device but just surf through the phone internet settings and configure using apn: blackberry.net and leaving the username and password blank.
I sent coweekly to 777 to activate the glo weekly plan. 400 naira was deducted from my account, but until now they keep telling me that my subscription is pending , when I send status to 777 . How long does it take for glo to activate my subscription? It been more that 12hours now.
usually within 1-3 hours, I’d advice that you contact the glo bb customer care service on 333.
Please sir Neyo, how can I use MTN BIS or MTN direct to browse on PC without much stress…….thanks in anticipation.
Using mtn bis, it is required that you use a vpn software, using mtn direct on pc you will be needing an active data subscription.
According to your information on GLO BB,i have been using it for the past 2weeks now, but i discovered today that i could not get connected,it terminated at the point of connection ,has Glo bock this package now?
No they haven’t, am still using it. Have you checked your data bundle balance?
Does this glo bis thing work with iphone n how do I configure it?
Thanks mahn
Hello Ameer, am pretty sure using glo bis on iphone should work although I don’t use an iphone, just go to your internet settings and use APN as blackberry.net and don’t forget leaving the username and password fields empty then connect. Do let us know how it goes.
Hello, i didn’t have any stress using my glo bolt modem to connect with the bb glo plan on my pc, but the problem i encounter is that when watching video online, it is fucking slow and it breaks very well. some times it even loggs off itself. what can you advice pls?
That’s an issue with the network pal. and it could also be your location, there’s nothing you or anyone can do about that outside praying that the network gets better.
Minna, Niger State capital is my location, but however i must say thanks for your swift response, for i used to think it were an entirely different problem. Once again, kudos bro Sam, please keep up the good work, thumbs up.
Its a pleasure helping bro. Cheers!
Hi man datz was sooo good, am vry hapy for u.. GOD bless u.
pls i wnt to cnfigure my iphone nd dnt kno hw to do?
Am sorry Noor, wish i was using an iPhone would have helped with that setting but i don’t, if you are conversant with your phone you should be able to get this done, just make sure to use the above parameter settings.
pls i hv finsh de process.is it used wid a vpn or wat? if yes pls let me knw of de vpn.tank u
No it is not used with any VPN
Samuel, after using the glo BIS tweak on my universal modem I couldn’t connect. I followed everything you outlined to the letter which wasn’t difficult at all. I even tried it on my iphone and it worked fine. Let me know if there is something am doing wrong. Thanks.
Yeah glo now sucks, i have moved back to MTN and enjoying a good speed, only glo edge connects during day time lately, try at night or connect using edge network and it should work.
I just subscribed for the glo 3Gb BIS with my nokia with the hope of using it on my modem. Hope it still works, hope av not thrown away my 1k4 o!
Yeah it still works but sucks now, only edge connects at most times, i have ditched using it now for mtn.
Hello please confirm, it looks as if glo has stopped this bis plan for pc
I haven’t been using glo for a while now rather am using mtn but am aware of this and it could be network problems.
The glo tweak has suddenly stopped working, any new help.
